1979,  Steve  Ivy  Numismatic  Auctions,  Inc. 


Dear  Customer  and  Friend: 

Welcome  to  the  William  C.  Kerr  Auction.  There  is  special  excitement 
about  this  auction,  because  it  represents  our  firm’s  tenth  sale  to  be 
conducted  since  our  inception  almost  three  years  ago. 

The  Kerr  Collection  is  highlighted  by  an  array  of  early  U.S.  $20  gold 
pieces,  both  Type  I,  and  Type  II,  an  attractive  selection  of  Early  Bust  and 
Seated  Liberty  Half  Dimes,  and  virtually  a  complete  year  set  of  Early  Half 
Dollars  from  1794  through  1891.  Altogether,  some  75  different  consignors  are 
included  in  this  sale. 

The  Kerr  Collection  spans  two  decades  of  numismatic  endeavors.  In  many 
areas,  you  will  find  considerable  duplication  for  your  choosing.  Many  coins, 
such  as  the  1860  Half  Dime,  were  held  in  abundance  by  Mr.  Kerr,  while  on  a 
more  contemporary  note,  he  assembled  10  uncirculated  Franklin  Half  Dollar 
Sets. 

Several  of  the  coins  in  this  sale  represent  condition  census  pieces. 

Among  these  are  Lot  1,  the  rare  and  scarce  1776  Continental  Dollar  struck  in 
pewter.  This  particular  example  is  Choice  BU  (60  +  )  and  is  certainly  among 
the  finest  known.  A  second  outstanding  coin  in  Mr.  Kerr’s  collection  is  his 
1836  $5  gold  piece  in  Gem  BU  (65  +  ),  which  is  just  one  of  several  early  gold 
type  coins  that  he  possesses.  Most  of  these  coins  were  purchased  in  the 
late  1950’s,  when  Mr.  Kerr  was  first  getting  started  with  his  collection. 

Every  effort  has  been  made  to  catalogue  each  lot  as  accurately  as 
possible.  When  a  coin  is  catalogued  with  a  description  “hairlined”,  that  is 
exactly  what  we  mean.  We  have  found  that  by  describing  our  coins  as 
accurately  as  possible,  it  is  to  everyone’s  advantage. 

Should  you  be  a  first-time  bidder,  we  refer  you  to  the  two  sections, 

Bidding  in  an  Unreserved  Auction,  and  Terms  of  Sale.  Should  you  have  any 
questions  concerning  this  sale,  do  not  hesitate  to  give  any  member  of  our 
staff  a  call.  Good  luck  to  all! 


Sincerely, 


Auction  Director

Bidding  In  Unreserved  Auction 


In  an  unreserved  auction,  there  are  no  hold  or  reserve  bids  on  any  lots  Each  lot  is  sold  to  the  highest 
bidder. 

In  bidding  by  mail,  it  is  possible  to  purchase  a  coin  at  a  price  less  than  your  maximum  bid  The  following 
is  an  explanation  of  the  mail  bid  procedures  followed  by  this  company: 

Bids  are  recorded  as  they  are  received  At  the  close  of  mail  bidding,  the  highest  and  second 
highest  bids  are  transferred  to  the  bid  book 

On  the  floor  of  the  auction,  bidding  is  opened  at  5  to  10%  above  the  second  highest  mail 
bid.  This  bid  is  submitted  by  our  company  acting  on  behalf  of  the  highest  mail  bidder  If  the  auc¬ 
tioneer  recognizes  no  other  bids  from  the  floor,  the  highest  mail  bidder  is  awarded  the  lot  at  the 
opening  bid  If  bidding  proceeds  from  the  floor,  the  company,  acting  as  the  mail  bidder's  agent, 
registers  bids  in  5  to  10%  increments  over  the  previous  bid  This  process  is  continued  until  the 
mail  bidder  is  awarded  the  lot,  or  the  next  bid  is  higher  than  the  mail  bidder's  maximum  bid 

An  example  of  this  procedure  is  set  forth  under  these  conditions: 

On  lot  25,  highest  mail  bidder  submits  a  bid  of  $100,  second  highest  mail  bid  is  at  $50  In 
this  case,  bidding  on  the  floor  starts  at  $55,  and  is  bid  by  our  company  on  behalf  of  the  highest 
mail  bidder.  If  no  other  bids  are  submitted  by  the  floor,  the  highest  mail  bidder,  who  bid  $100, 
has  purchased  the  lot  for  $55.  If  other  bids  come  from  the  floor,  we  bid  for  the  highest  mail  bid 
der  in  5  —  10%  increments,  as  set  by  the  auctioneer,  until  we  reach  the  mail  bidder's  maximum 
bid  of  $100  Since  bidding  has  passed  the  mail  bidder's  maximum,  we  take  no  other  action,  and 
the  bidding  continues  on  the  floor  until  the  final  purchaser  has  been  recognized  by  the  auc¬ 
tioneer 

Using  this  procedure,  the  mail  bidder  retains  many  of  the  advantages  of  the  floor  bidder. 

As  outlined  above,  it  is  clear  to  see  that  coins  can  be  purchased  at  a  price  less  than  the  maximum 
mail  bid  This  method  of  bidding  for  mail  bidders  is  followed  in  this  and  all  of  our  auctions 


Quantitative  Grading 


The  quantitative  grading  system  is  utilized  in  describing  and  grading  all  coins  in 
this  catalog.  The  quantitative  grade  will  be  used  in  conjunction  with  the  traditional 
letter  grade  in  order  to  best  describe  the  condition  of  the  coin 


On  occasion,  we  will  use  a  plus(  +  )  to  designate  that  a  given  coin  is  somewhat 
better  than  the  quantitative  listed  grade,  but  not  nice  enough  to  qualify  for  the  next 
highest  number  An  example  would  be  a  45  +  grade  which  would  be  the  equivalent  to 
EF/AU.

How  to  use  CompuBid 

The  newest  advancement  in  mail  bidding  techniques 


WHAT 

CompuBid  is  a  new  method  of  mail  bidding  developed  exclusively  by 
Steve  Ivy  Numismatic  Auctions  for  their  mail  bidders.  CompuBid  allows 
you,  the  mail  bidder,  almost  all  of  the  advantages  usually  held  by  the 
floor  bidder.  Now,  as  a  CompuBid  mail  bidder,  you  can  bid  on  as 
many  lots  as  you  desire,  yet  limit  your  purchases  to  your  budgeted 
amount.  It  is  just  as  if  you  were  attending  the  auction  in  person. 

WHY 

CompuBid  was  created  as  an  alternative  to  our  conventional  mail 
bidding  system,  which  we  still  offer.  CompuBid  was  developed  to  solve 
these  typical  problems  facing  the  mail  bidder  (a)  you  can  bid  on  exactly 
what  you  want  to  buy  although  you  would  probably  purchase  less  than 
you  wanted,  (b)  in  an  effort  to  spend  what  you  want,  you  can  bid  on 
more  than  you  have  budgeted  but  run  the  risk  of  over-purchase,  (c)  you 
can  attend  the  auction  in  person  and  stop  bidding  when  you  reach  your 
limit.  With  CompuBid,  you  can  bid  on  the  coins  you  desire,  but  limit 
your  purchases  to  your  maximum  amount. 

HOW 

CompuBid  is  very  simple  to  use.  Just  fill  our  your  bid  sheet  in  the  usual 
manner  except  you  list  your  buying  limit  (because  of  the  increased 
accounting  necessary,  the  minimum  buying  limit  is  $200.00). 

Here's  how  to  fill  out  one  of  our  bid  sheets: 

1.  Name,  Address,  City,  State,  Zip  and  Telephone  Number. 

Your  address  is  needed  to  mail  your  successful  purchases.  Your 
telephone  number  is  needed  so  that  we  may  instantly  communicate  any 
problems  or  changes  that  may  affect  your  bids. 

2.  References 

If  you  have  not  established  credit  with  us  from  previous  auctions,  you 
must  sent  a  25%  deposit,  or  list  coin  dealers  with  whom  you  have  credit 
established. 

3.  Lot  Numbers  and  Bids 

List  all  the  lots  you  desire  to  purchase  under  the  column  headed  "Lots". 
The  reverse  side  of  your  bid  sheet  has  additional  columns,  and  you  may 
also  use  a  separate  sheet.  Under  the  heading  "Amounts",  enter  the 
maximum  amount  you  would  be  willing  to  pay  for  that  lot  (whole 
dollar  amounts  only).  We  will  purchase  the  coin  for  you  as  much  below 
your  bid  as  possible. 

4.  Total  Bid  Sheet 

Add  up  all  of  the  bids  and  list  that  total  in  the  appropriate  box. 

5.  Indicate  Your  Limit 

After  you  have  totaled  your  bid  sheet,  determine  how  much  you  can 
budget  to  spend.  Check  the  box  for  CompuBid,  and  list  your  spending 
limit. 

6.  Sign  Your  Bid  Sheet 

Your  bid  sheet  is  now  complete  and  needs  only  your  signature.  By 
signing  the  bid  sheet,  you  have  agreed  to  abide  by  the  Terms  of  Sale 
listed  in  the  auction  catalog.

All  photogi  aphs  are  of  the  actual  coins  offered  for  sale.  So  that  you  may  have 
the  best  possible  reproductions  on  which  to  base  your  bids,  we  have  provided 
twelve  color  plates  for  your  inspection  and  enjoyment.  The  color  plates  are 
located  on  pages  10,  11,  14,  15,  18,  22,  26,  34,  35,  42,  43,  and  55. 


COLONIALS 

1  1776  Continental  Dollar  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UN¬ 
CIRCULATED  (60  +  )  Pewter.  “CONTINENTAL 
CURRENCY”,  with  “EG  FECIT”.  Exceptionally 
bright  and  lustrous.  The  Guide  Book  indicates  on  page 
thirty  that  “Pewter  coins  in  original  bright  uncirculated 
condition  are  worth  an  additional  premium”.  They  list 
this  variety  in  “Unc.”  at  $9,500.00.  There  are  a  few 
spots  on  the  otherwise  excellent  surfaces,  however.  The 
most  noticeable  one  just  about  covers  the  sun  on  the 
obverse.  Around  two  of  the  other  spots  on  the  obverse, 
and  one  on  the  chain  on  the  reverse,  there  is  evidence  of 
light  rubbing,  no  doubt  made  in  an  attempt  to  remove 
or  at  least  diminish,  the  spots.  This  rubbing  does  little  to 
the  overall  appearance  of  this  outstanding  specimen, 
and  should  detract  only  slightly  from  its  value.  It  is  men¬ 
tioned  only  because  a  coin  of  such  significant 
numismatic  and  historical  importance  should  be 
meticulously  described.  There  are  no  edge  bumps  or  sur¬ 
face  marks.  The  strike  is  superior  to  most  others  seen. 
This  is  the  first  mint  state  example  of  a  Continental 
Dollar  that  we  have  had  the  privilege  to  offer.  Since 
many  numismatists  feel  that  the  entire  Colonial  series  is 
on  the  verge  of  a  strong  upward  movement  in  popular¬ 
ity,  this  coin  should  attract  considerable  attention,  and 
could  prove  to  be  a  timely  investment,  (see  color  photo) 

2  1781  North  American  Token  FINE/VERY  FINE  (15  +  ) 

3  1783  Washington  Piece  FINE  (12)  UNITY  STATES.  A 
few  light  edge  bumps.  The  lettering  is  weak  near  the 
rims. 

4  1787  Fugio  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Pointed 
Rays.  “STATES  UNITED”  at  sides  of  circle.  Pleasant 
surfaces,  (see  color  photo) 


HALF  CENTS 

5  1794  VERY  GOOD/FINE  (10  +  )  Quite  dark,  with 
porous  surfaces. 

6  1794  VERY  FINE  (30)  Pleasing  brown  planchet,  much 
above  average  quality.  The  sharp  hair  detail  indicates  a 
better  grade,  but  some  small  surface  marks  prevent  a 
higher  classification.  A  nice  coin  for  type. 

7  1804  Plain  4  Stemless  RED  AND  BROWN  UNCIR¬ 
CULATED  (60)  Light  brown,  with  splashes  of  mint  red 
clinging  to  the  lettering  and  devices.  Sharply  detailed  for 
the  type.  Particularly  pleasing,  (see  color  photo) 


Jage  2 


8  1833  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50) 

9  1 836  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  + )  Original,  with  the  reverse 
of  1809-1836.  The  obverse  is  about  25%  red,  the  reverse 
about  75%.  Although  listed  as  a  proof-only  issue,  many 
characteristics  of  this  coin  are  suggestive  of  a  business 
strike,  especially  the  obverse.  Thus  it  would  fit  nicely 
into  a  collection  of  mint  state  Half  Cents.  Infrequently 
offered,  and  sure  to  attract  much  notice,  (see  color 
photo) 

10  1850  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 

ED  (45  +  )  Buffed  in  the  obverse  fields. 

11  1851  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 

ED  (45  + ) 

12  1853  CHOICE  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
Glossy. 

13  1855  RED  AND  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED  (60) 


LARGE  CENTS 

14  1793  Wreath  ABOUT  GOOD  (3)  Lettered  edge.  Legible 
date;  full  “Liberty”.  Other  than  some  old  digs  on  the 
portrait’s  face,  an  undamaged,  evenly  worn  filler. 

15  1820  GEM  RED  AND  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED 
(65)  Razor-sharp  strike.  Mellowed  mint  red  blended 
with  chocolate  brown.  A  die  crack  connects  all  four 
digits  of  the  date  and  all  thirteen  stars.  A  handsome  ex¬ 
ample,  courtesy  of  the  Randall  Hoard,  (see  color  photo) 

16  1838  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 
ED  (45  + )  Actually  quite  close  to  mint  state,  but  there 
are  some  light  scratches  around  the  date,  and  the  sur¬ 
faces  have  been  lightly  cleaned. 

17  1851  RED  AND  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED  (60) 
Flatly  struck  stars.  Pleasing  in  overall  appearance. 

18  1852  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Glorious  original  mint  color  on  semi-prooflike 
surfaces.  A  shallow  dent  on  the  top  of  the  “N”  in 
“ONE”  on  the  reverse  is  the  only  locatable  detraction. 
Similar  specimens,  though  rarely  traded,  have  brought 
between  six  and  eight  hundred  dollars,  (see  color  photo)

Large  Cents  (cont'd) 

19  1853  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Booming  mint  red.  A  premier  type  coin,  (see 
color  photo) 

20  1853  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Another  glorious,  full  color  example.  Few 
numismatic  auctions  have  a  single  superb,  full  red  Large 
Cent.  We  are  fortunate  to  offer  several,  (see  color 
photo) 

21  1856  CHOICE  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
Lustrous  and  sharp,  although  most  of  the  stars  do  not 
show  full  centers. 

22  1857  Small  Date  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 
ED  (55)  Sharp,  with  some  mint  red.  Several  tiny  rim 
nicks. 


FLYING  EAGLE  CENTS 

23  1857  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Lustrous  and 
sharp. 

24  1857  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Impressively  sharp; 
depressingly  dull. 

25  1857  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Exceptionally  well  struck  and  abundantly  lustrous. 
Easily  a  gem  were  it  not  for  a  few  scattered  speckles. 

26  1858  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Copper-nickel  Cents  are  very  seldom  seen  with 
any  appreciable  natural  toning.  Their  rather  bland  color 
precludes  the  existence  of  many  coins  with  that  intan¬ 
gible  quality  of  “character”.  But  here  is  an  exception! 
The  touch  of  russet  toning,  when  added  to  the  splendid 
surfaces,  strike,  and  luster,  creates  a  type  coin  that  any 
collector  would  be  proud  to  add  to  his  collection,  (see 
color  photo) 


INDIAN  HEAD  CENTS 

27  1859  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Fully  struck,  with  nice  luster  and  color.  A  tiny  surface 
nick  or  two  away  from  the  Gem  category. 

28  1860  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55) 

29  1862  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50) 

30  1862  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Struck 
from  slightly  rotated  dies. 

31  1863  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Off-color 
reverse. 

32  1863  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Sharp,  with  a  partial  wire  rim. 

33  1864  Copper-Nickel  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65)  Scarce  and  undervalued  date. 

34  1864  Copper-Nickel  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65  +  )  Superb!  Gleaming,  somewhat  prooflike 
surfaces.  Seldom  seen  this  nice,  (see  color  photo) 

1864  L  GOOD  (6)  About  20%  off-center.  An  unusual 
and  interesting  error. 

36  Ln64  L  CHolcE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60+)  Sharp  with  one  of  the  most  vivid  “L’s”  we’ve 
seen,  (see  color  photo) 


37  1864  Bronze  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  +  )  Superb!  Full  strike  and  complete  original  red. 

38  1866  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Quite  sharp. 

39  1866  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Full 
original  color.  Totally  struck  up.  (see  color  photo) 

40  1866  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Nearly  superb!  Light,  attrac¬ 
tive  toning.  As  common  date  Indians  in  Proof  have 
been  moving  upward  in  price,  scarce  dates  have  re¬ 
mained  relatively  static.  Some  price  adjustment  is  over¬ 
due.  (see  color  photo) 

41  1867  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Ex¬ 
tremely  sharp.  Iridescent  toning,  (see  color  photo) 

42  1869/68  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (45  + )  Obviously  cleaned 

43  1870  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Fully  brilliant,  (see  color 
photo) 

44  1871  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  Superb!  Tremendously 
undervalued  in  this  ultimate  condition.  This  absolutely 
spotless  example  is  a  candidate  for  the  finest  known. 
Sure  to  satisfy  even  the  most  fastidious  collector,  (see 
color  photo) 

45  1874  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

46  1874  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Heartwarming  color  and  immaculate  surfaces. 
Supremely  well  struck.  A  prize!  (see  color  photo) 

47  1874  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  Superb!  One  of  the  rarest 
Indians  in  superb  proof  condition.  Copper  coins  of  this 
quality  seem  to  be  rapidly  disappearing  from  the 
market.  This  opportunity  should  not  be  missed  by  the 
serious  collector,  (see  color  photo) 

48  1875  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
A  couple  of  small  obverse  spots.  The  color  is  bright 
orange  and  not  entirely  original. 

49  1875  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  At¬ 
tractive,  original  color,  (see  color  photo) 

50  1878  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Dipped; 
now  beginning  to  retone.  Somewhat  prooflike. 

51  1878  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Full 
original  mint  red. 

52  1878  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Full,  rich  color.  Note:  This  piece  is  a  member 
of  an  old-timer’s  set  offered  as  part  of  the  Kerr  sale. 
While  the  set  was  inconsistent  in  quality,  we  must  say 
that  the  nice  pieces  are  among  the  finest  Indian  Head 
Cents  we’ve  ever  seen!  (see  color  photo) 

53  1878  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Nice  and  natural. 

54  1878  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Another  outstanding,  original 
Indian.  The  extra  lump  of  metal  on  the  right  serif  of  the 
letter  “T”  on  the  reverse  is  diagnostic  of  a  reverse  die 
used  to  strike  some,  but  not  all,  proof  Indians  from 
1873  to  1878.  (see  color  photo) 

55  1879  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  Superb!  A  dazzling  beauty 
that  should  garner  many  respectable  bids. 

56  1881  CHOICE  PROOF  (60+)  Light,  hazy  toning.  At¬ 
tractive. 

57  1881  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Magnificent  color.  Small  lint 
mark  on  the  princess’  chin.

culate  surfaces. 

60  1883  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  A  Gem  reverse.

color. 

62  1886  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  pristine  example  that  is  admissible  to  the 
finest  set.  (see  color  photo) 

63  1887  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Spotless! 

64  1888  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  Lightly  hairlined. 

65  1888  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (70) 
Perfect!  This  coin  is  not  only  technically  an  MS70,  but 
also  aesthetically.  The  luster,  color  and  surfaces  each 
could  serve  as  a  standard  for  the  series.  Deserving  of  a 
generous  bid.  (see  color  photo) 

66  1889  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Coruscant  luster  upon  spotless  surfaces. 

67  1891  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Not  one  carbon  speck!  Apropos  for  an  out¬ 
standing  type  set. 

68  1892  PROOF  (60)  Iridescent,  “oil-slick”  surfaces. 

69  1892  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Multicolored,  iridescent 
toning. 

70  1894  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

71  1894  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Enhanced  by  light  toning. 

72  1895  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 

73  1895  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  virtual  MS70. 

74  1899  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Lovely  peripheral  toning. 

75  1900  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Unnatural 
color. 

76  1900  PROOF  (60)  Essentially  choice. 

77  1902  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  hint  of  toning  about  the  perimeters.  For  the 
connoisseur. 

78  1905  PROOF  (60)  Dulled  by  an  old  cleaning.  Attractive, 
deep  toning. 

79  1906  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  Mottled  toning. 

80  1906  GEM  PROOF  (65)  A  touch  of  violet  toning.  Quite 
attractive,  (see  color  photo) 

81  1907  GEM  PROOF  (65)  A  pleasing,  defect-free 
specimen. 

82  1908-S  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Somewhat 
prooflike  surfaces. 

83  1908-S  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Not  quite 
in  full  brilliance.  Traces  of  a  fingerprint  on  the  reverse. 


84  1908-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  The  surfaces  are  void  of  even  the  tiniest 
speckle.  For  the  finest  cabinet,  (see  color  photo) 

85  1909  PROOF  (60)  Cleaned;  iridescently  retoning. 

86  1909-S  VERY  GOOD/FINE  (10  +  )

sion.

Superb!  Immaculate  surfaces  enhanced  by  rose  toning. 
For  the  perfectionist,  (see  color  photo) 

95  1910-S  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  In  full 
brilliance,  but  there  is  a  touch  of  rub  on  Lincoln’s 
cheekbone. 

96  191 1-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  strike  and  color.

101  1914  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)

catalogues  for  less  than  half  as  much. 

102  1914-D  GOOD  (6)  One  reverse  edge  nick.

lines.  Judging  from  the  immense  popularity  of  the 
Lincoln  series,  this  pristine  example  of  the  regular  issue 
series’  key  date  could  bring  over  the  four-figure  mark,

131  1864  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Full  red;  dazzling  surfaces. 
Although  not  rare  as  a  business  strike,  this  date  is  ex¬ 
tremely  tough  in  proof,  (see  color  photo) 

132  1865  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Sharp,  with  full,  original  color.  Obviously  never  cleaned

Glowing  luster.  As  fully  struck  as  business  strike  Two 
Cent  Pieces  ever  come.  The  tiny  edge  cud  (as  made)  on 
the  reverse  does  not  detract  at  all  from  the  coin’s  value 
or  grade,  (see  color  photo) 

135  1868  GEM  RED  AND  BROWN  UNCIRCULATED

traversing  mellowed  chocolate  brown.  Worthy  of  a 
premium  bid. 

138  1871  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
About  eighty  percent  mint  red.  Scarce. 

139  1872  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Ab¬ 
solutely  no  proof  surfaces  whatsoever.  In  the  last  five 
years,  a  great  deal  has  been  learned  about  the  rarity  and 
desirability  of  various  issues  (e.g.  Three  Cent  Nickels  in 
the  1880’s,  Seated  Half  Dimes  in  the  1860’s,  etc.)  that 
are  relatively  common  in  proof  condition  but  scarce  or 
rare  as  business  strikes.  Once  the  psychological  barrier 
of  paying  more  for  an  “Unc”  than  for  a  “Proof”  of  the 
same  date  was  broken,  a  veritable  flood  of  information 
emerged!  Now  that  the  market  has  evolved  to  a  more 
sophisticated  level,  the  true  rarity  of  some  business 
strikes  versus  proofs  can  be  accurately  measured.  Of  the 
several  dozen  different  issues  in  this  category,  it  seems 
that  the  1872  Two  Cent  Piece  is  among  the  front  run¬ 
ners,  both  in  terms  of  rarity  and  desirability.  Many 
Proofs  have  been  offered  as  business  strikes  in  the  past. 
This  factor  has  surely  held  the  price  of  a  true  business 
strike  down.  What  makes  this  particular  coin  so 
desirable  is  its  unquestionable  non-proof  status.  It  will 
be  interesting  to  see  the  value  established  for  this  rarity. 
A  four  figure  bid  will  probably  be  necessary  to  acquire 
it.  (see  color  photo)

Buffalo  Nickels  (cont'd) 

336  1917-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Well  struck.  Another  fine  example  of  a  difficult  date  of 
a  challenging  series,  (see  color  photo) 

337  1918  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

338  1918-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  strike!  Full  hair  and  a  split  tail.  Not  often  does  such 
a  comprehensive  offering  of  gem  mint-marked  Buffalos 
in  the  ‘teens’  go  under  the  block.  For  the  finest  set.  (see 
color  photo) 

339  1919  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 

340  1919  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

341  1920-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Vastly  superior  to  most  seen  of  this  date.  Understand¬ 
ably  regarded  by  many  as  the  most  difficult  Denver  coin 
of  the  series  (excluding  the  overdate).  This  pleasing 
specimen  is  well  struck  and  has  excellent  surfaces.  It 
may  be  impossible  to  find  its  equal  for  quite  some  time. 
The  serious  collector  should  not  let  this  opportunity 
evade  him.  (see  color  photo) 

342  1921  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Semi¬ 
prooflike  and  well  struck;  very  attractive. 

343  1923-S  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  An  essen¬ 
tially  choice,  well  struck  example. 

344  1924  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60) 

345  1924-S  EXTREMELY  FINE  (40)  Planchet  lamination 
below  the  date. 

346  1925-D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Typical  mushy  obverse;  however,  the  reverse  is 
above  average.  Highly  lustrous,  (see  color  photo) 

347  1925-D  Full  Strike  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65  +  )  Superb!  Outstanding  strike  and  luster. 
Truly  a  rare  chance  for  the  specialist,  (see  color  photo) 

348  1925-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  + )  A  good  strike,  a  quality  which  is  most  elusive  for 
this  notoriously  weak  issue.  Toned  nicely  as  well.  Would 
complement  any  gem  collection,  and  will  surely  require 
a  bid  very  near  a  gem’s  price,  (see  color  photo) 

349  1926  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

350  1926-D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Although  not  fully  struck,  definitely  above 
average,  with  a  full  horn.  Booming  luster  and  immacu¬ 
late  surfaces,  (see  color  photo) 

351  1926-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Full  strike!  Incredible  quality.  From  our  Great 
Southwest  Sale  (December,  1976)  at  $775.00.  Worth 
more  today,  (see  color  photo) 

352  1931-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

353  1931-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  One  hundred  percent  fully  struck,  and  quite  an 
underrated  coin  as  such. 

354  1931-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Fully  struck,  (see  color  photo) 

355  1937  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  Fully  brilliant  and  no 
hairlines.  A  few  opaque,  rusty  spots  are  all  that  prohibit 
a  gem  grade,  (see  color  photo) 


356  1937  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Perennially  popular,  (see  color 
photo) 

357  1938-D/D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Doubled  mintmark. 


EARLY  DIME 

358  1825  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Light 

golden  toning  on  impeccable,  defect  free  surfaces.  A 
slight  softness  of  strike  on  the  right  side  of  the  eagle’s 
neck.  An  ideal  type  coin,  and  an  underrated  date  as 
well,  (see  color  photo)

394  1888  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Magnificent  brilliance  and

A  touch  of  rub  away  from  mint  state. 

401  1893-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Lustrous  and  pleasing  in  all  respects.  Although  not 
nearly  as  expensive  as  some  other  mintmarked  Barber 
Dimes  in  the  1890’s,  this  date  is  deceptively  difficult  to 
locate.  The  quality  conscious  collector  need  look  no 
further!  (see  color  photo) 

402  1894  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  Superb!  A  hair’s  breadth

photo) 

411  1902-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Shimmering  prooflike  surfaces.  We  did  not  think 
it  possible  for  a  coin  of  this  date  and  mint  to  be  so  fully 
struck.  Although  not  a  gem  (mainly  because  of  a  tiny 
dig  beneath  the  first  A  of  AMERICA),  this  exceptional 
example  demands  serious  consideration  from  the  collec¬ 
tor  specializing  in  this  series. 

412  1903  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Light 
golden  toning  on  satiny  surfaces  which  are  free  of

coin  that  will  always  be  in  widespread  demand,  (see 
color  photo) 

413  1903-S  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Some  sur¬ 
face  grime,  and  signs  of  attempts  to  remove  more  of 
same. 

414  1905  PROOF  (60)  Artificial  peripheral  toning  surround¬ 
ing  bleached  centers. 

415  1906  GEM  PROOF  (65  + )  Superb!  Appears  exactly  as  it 
did  the  day  it  was  struck.  A  fully  brilliant,  dazzling,  no 
apologies  necessary  gem.  (see  color  photo) 

416  1906-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Fully  struck,  with  its  complete  quota  of  mint  frost,  (see

obverse;  matte  surface  on  reverse. 

454  1925-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  split  bands.  Considerably  tougher  in  this  grade  than 
its  Denver  counterpart,  and  will  surely  surpass  the  “D” 
mint  in  value.  The  attention  this  coin  receives  will  no 
doubt  reflect  its  rarity  and  the  popularity  of  the  Mercury 
Dime  series,  (see  color  photo)

459  1927-D  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Appears 
to  have  been  very  lightly  cleaned.  Still  quite  acceptable. 
The  bands  are  not  separated. 

460  1927-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  split  bands.  One  of  the  toughest  of  all  semi-key 
Mercuries  to  obtain  in  this  condition.  An  important 
offering  for  the  ambitious  collector.  ANACS  # E  8568  B.

EARLY  QUARTERS 

489  1 804  EXTREMELY  FINE  (40)  Formerly  Lot  450  of  our 
Great  Southwest  Sale  (December,  1976).  Described 
therein  as  :  “A  most  pleasing  example  of  this  rare  and 
popular  Early  Bust  Quarter.  Very  nice  detail  with  vir¬ 
tually  perfect  surfaces  ...  An  excellent  opportunity  for 
the  specialist.”  The  $1,500.00  it  realized  was  a  bargain 
then;  it  should  bring  considerably  more  today.  We  have 
not  seen  a  better  or  equal  specimen  since  this  coin’s  ap¬ 
pearance  over  two  years  ago.  (see  color  photo)

on  the  reverse.  Easily  a  gem  otherwise,  (see  color  photo) 

495  1 834  EXTREMELY  FINE/ ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬

517  1881  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  In¬ 
jury  free  surfaces  enhanced  by  attractive  toning  of 
medium  density.  Popular  with  investors  because  of  its 
low  mintage,  (see  color  photo)

Superb!  Nudges  perfection.  Flawless,  pristine  surfaces,

needlessly  hairlined  in  the  Fields.

stars  keep  this  coin  out  of  the  gem  class. 

523  1891  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Lacks  suffi¬ 
cient  luster  to  be  called  choice.  Strictly  mint  state.

Barber  Quarters  (cont'd) 

535  1902-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  As 
was  the  case  with  the  Barber  Dime  of  the  same  issue 
earlier  in  this  sale,  the  strike  of  this  coin  is  exceptionally 
sharp.  Each  star  has  full  radial  lines  and  centers;  both 
talons  are  well  detailed.  The  specialist  already  knows 
what  a  desirable  trait  this  coin  possesses,  and  should  bid 
accordingly,  (see  color  photo) 

536  1902-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  A  lightly  toned,  virtual  gem.  Full  stars.

tially  choice. 

546  1908-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A

afford,  (see  color  photo)

Well  rounded  cheek  and  full  details  except  on  the  eagle’s 
left  talon.  Void  of  noticeable  marks  —  in  fact,  quite

Standing  Liberty  Quarters  (cont'd) 

575  1919-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Virtually  flawless.  A  challenging  issue  to  locate 
in  mint  state,  and  prohibitively  tough  this  nice.  Sure  to 
attract  much  attention,  (see  color  photo) 

576  1920  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Full  Head. 
A  touch  of  friction  on  the  high  points.

toning.  Worthy  of  the  finest  collection,  (see  color

579  1920-D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  ) 

580  1 920- S  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55  +  ) 

581  1921  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  An 
appealing  example  of  this  key  date.  Full  shield  and  more 
than  half  head.  The  booming  luster  is  accented  by  light 
golden  toning.  For  an  outstanding  collection,  (see  color 
photo) 

582  1923  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Close  to  Full  Head  sharpness. 

583  1923  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Virtually  faultless. 

584  1923-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Nicely  struck,  with  a  three-quarters  head.  Exceptionally 
brilliant  and  lustrous.  This  coin  and  the  other  gems  of 
the  Standing  Liberty  series  offered  herein  give  the  enter¬ 
prising  collector  and  the  astute  investor  an  unusual  op¬ 
portunity  to  acquire  exceptional  coins.  Early  Twentieth 
Century  series  such  as  this  one  will  eventually  be  as  diffi¬ 
cult  to  form  as  Nineteenth  Century  ones  are  today. 
Someday,  the  1916,  1921  and  1923-S  Quarters  may  be 
regarded  (and  priced)  as  the  1896-S,  1901-S  and  1913-S 
Barber  Quarters  are  now!  (see  color  photo) 

585  1 924- D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Full  Head,  full  rivets  on  the  shield  and  a  full 
date.  (To  the  newcomer  to  the  series,  it  may  sound 
ludicrous  to  state  that  a  full  headed  coin  also  has  a  full 
date,  but  this  particular  issue  is  noted  for  often  having 
the  upper  portion  of  the  date  obliterated  due  to  die 
failure.  Some  of  the  precious  few  Full  Head  examples 
we  have  seen  have  had  only  half  of  a  date!  Indeed,  the 
weakening  die  is  in  clear  evidence  on  this  piece  —  a 
healthy  die  crack  crosses  all  four  numerals.  Perhaps 
within  minutes  after  this  very  coin  was  struck,  a  piece  of 
metal  above  the  crack  fell  away.)  Light  golden  toning. 
Surely  among  the  sharpest  of  this  issue  in  existence.  The 
amount  of  respect  it  demands  from  numismatists  is 
evidenced  by  a  price  of  $1,750.00  paid  for  a  Full  Head 
gem  specimen  in  NERCA’s  A.J.  Amato  Sale  (July, 
1978).  That  record  price  is  endangered  by  this  splendid 
specimen,  (see  color  photo) 

586  1924-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Ninety  percent  Full  Head,  and  thus  about  as  sharp  as  is 
practical  to  hope  for.  Nice  luster  and  surfaces. 

587  1925  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Full  Head.  A  few  tiny  digs  on  Liberty’s  waist.

Head.  Gorgeous,  natural  toning.  Full,  rounded  con¬ 
tours.  (see  color  photo) 

591  1926-D  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  A  few 
light  surface  marks.  Typical  strike. 

592  1926-D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Similar  to  the  preceding,  but  sharper. 

593  1926-D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Typical  strike;  highly  lustrous. 

594  1926-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
bona  fide  gem  of  this  usually  unexciting  date. 

595  1927  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Full 
Head. 

596  1927-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Vibrant  luster.  Slightly  better  date. 

597  1928-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Totally  original. 

598  1928-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

599  1928-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
High  quality  type  coins  such  as  this  piece  should  have  a 
bright  future. 

600  1929  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Full  Head.  Mottled  toning. 

601  1929  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  )

602  1929-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)

photo) 

603  1929-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Full  Head.  Essentially  of  gem  quality. 

604  1930  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Slight 
flatness  on  the  knee,  but  the  head  is  sharp. 

605  1930  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Wholly  lustrous;  close  to  a  Full  Head. 

606  1930  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Full 
Head. 

607  1930  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  )

Superb!  Ultra-lustrous.  Three-fourths  head. 

610  1930-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Full  head  —  in  fact,  one  of  the  best  we  have 
seen  of  this  scarce  date.  Enchanting  golden  toning  with 
patches  of  yellow  and  aqua.  For  the  connoisseur,  (see

Washington  Quarters  (cont'd) 

612  1932-D  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  The  best  we  have  ever  seen  (and  we’ve  seen  a 
few)!  Here’s  a  coin  with  an  unlimited  future-it  is  the 
key  member  of  a  current  and  popular  series;  it  possesses 
unsurpassable  quality;  it  is  not  yet  unaffordable;  and  it 
is  unquestionably  original  and  genuine.  No  amount  of 
money  could  guarantee  the  location  of  a  nicer  specimen, 
(see  color  photo) 

613  1932-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  An 
original,  lustrous  specimen. 

614  1937-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

615  1950  S  Over  D  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (60  + )  Sharp  overmintmark.  Coins  such  as  this 
are  very  interesting;  it  is  easy  to  understand  their  recent 
surge  in  popularity. 


EARLY  HALVES 

616  1794  VERY  GOOD  (8)  The  obverse  is  pleasant  and 
evenly  worn,  with  all  digits,  stars  and  letters  complete. 
All  lettering  is  full  on  the  reverse,  but  the  head  and 
upper  right  wing  of  the  eagle  are  worn  smooth.  A  pre¬ 
sentable  example. 

617  1795  VERY  GOOD  (8)  0-1 10,  R-4. 

618  1802  VERY  FINE  (20)  A  bit  hazy  in  appearance. 
Scarce. 

619  1803  Large  3  FINE  (15)  One  flat  spot,  possibly  a  file 
mark,  on  the  reverse  rim.  Not  really  a  detrimental  fac¬ 
tor,  however. 

620  1803  Large  3  VERY  FINE  (20) 

621  1805  VERY  FINE  (30)  Peculiar  surfaces,  probably  dull¬ 
ed  by  multiple  cleanings.  The  edge  lettering  is  indistinct. 

622  1805/4  FINE/VERY  FINE  (15  +  )  The  bold  overdate 
has  always  been  a  favorite  of  collectors. 

623  1806  VERY  FINE  (30)  Knobbed  6,  Stem  through  Claw. 
Unusually  problem  free. 

624  1806  VERY  GOOD  (8)  Pointed  6,  Stem  through  Claw. 
Dark. 

625  1806  FINE  (12)  Pointed  6,  Stem  through  Claw. 

626  1806  FINE  (12)  “6”  Over  Inverted  “6”.  Scarce  and  in¬ 
teresting. 

627  1806  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Pointed  6, 
Stem  through  Claw.  Sharp,  with  even  toning.  An  old 
scratch  extends  !4”  from  an  arrowhead  on  the  reverse. 
Several  small  digs  on  the  obverse  rim. 

628  1806  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Pointed  6, 
Stem  through  Claw.  Lustrous  and  semi-prooflike.  Quite 
sharply  struck  for  the  type.  Attractive  peripheral  toning. 
Two  parallel  scratches  on  the  shield,  each  about  the 
width  of  a  horizontal  shield  line  and  less  than  !4”  long. 
Another  comma-shaped  scratch  between  M  and  E  of 
AMERICA.  Unfortunate  defects,  but  the  fact  remains 
that  this  is  a  rare  and  desirable  early  type  coin,  (see  color 
photo) 

629  1807  VERY  FINE/EXTREMELY  FINE  (35  + )  Lovely 
peripheral  toning.  Some  luster  remains  on  prooflike  sur¬ 
faces.  (What  a  dazzler  it  must  have  been  when  it  was 
minted!) 


630  1807  Bust  Left  VERY  FINE  (20)  50/20  C.  A  scarce 
variety  of  a  scarce  date. 

631  1810  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Sharp  and 
brilliant,  but  lightly  cleaned. 

632  1815  VERY  FINE  (20)  Dark,  with  several  faint  “X’s” 
scratched  into  the  surfaces,  (see  color  photo) 

633  1822/1  EXTREMELY  FINE  (45)  0-101,  R-3. 

634  1827  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 
ED  (45  +  )  Golden  toning. 

635  1828  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Square  base  two,  small  eights,  large  letters.  Well  struck. 
Light  golden  peripheral  toning,  (see  color  photo) 

636  1829  9  Over  7  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50) 
0-101,  R-2. 

637  1831  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55) 

638  1832  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Love¬ 
ly  golden  toning  on  exquisite  surfaces.  Extremely  well 
struck.  An  exciting  opportunity  for  the  serious  type 
collector,  (see  color  photo) 


REEDED  EDGE  HALVES 

639  1836  Reeded  Edge  EXTREMELY  FINE  (40)  No  pro¬ 
blems,  unless  two  nearly  invisible  areas  of  old  scratches 
on  the  reverse  can  be  considered  as  such.  Popular,  (see 
color  photo) 

640  1837  Reeded  Edge  VERY  FINE  (20) 

641  1838  EXTREMELY  FINE  (40)

ing  variety.  Toned. 

646  1846-0  VERY  FINE  (35)  Tall  Date.  Scarce. 

647  1847  EXTREMELY  FINE  (45)  Problem  free. 

648  1847-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike  and  quite  lustrous.  An  excellent 
representative  of  the  No  Motto  type,  (see  color  photo) 

649  1850  EXTREMELY  FINE/ALMOST  UNCIRCULAT¬ 
ED  (45  + )  Prooflike.  Lightly  cleaned.  A  scarce  date  that 
was  purchased  by  the  consignor  from  A1  Overton. 

650  1851  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Lightly  abrad¬ 
ed  throughout.  Very  scarce. 

651  1852  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Sharp  and,  un¬ 
fortunately,  thoroughly  hairlined.  Another  decidedly 
uncommon  date,  with  a  mintage  of  only  77,130.

the  right  of  the  eagle.  Scarce.

Liberty  Seated  Halves  (cont'd) 

653  1855-S  FINE/VERY  FINE  (15  +  )  A  very  presentable

670  1880  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  To  describe  adequately  the  intense  beauty  of 
this  jewel  is  no  easy  task.  The  shimmering,  semi¬ 
prooflike  surfaces  are  graced  with  delicate  golden 
toning,  with  a  crescent  of  aqua  on  the  reverse.  Fully 
struck  and  phenomenally  lustrous.  Full  wire  rims.  An 
incredible  coin  that  is  worth  whatever  one  must  pay  to 
get  it.  (see  color  photo)

679  1893  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  (see 
color  photo) 

680  1894  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  Superb!  A  virtually  perfect 
cameo.  The  frosty  white  devices  are  strikingly  con¬ 
trasted  against  fields  of  unfathomable  depth.  As  fine  a 
representative  of  Charles  E.  Barber’s  work  as  we  have 
ever  offered.  A  true  numismatic  treasure,  (see  color 
photo) 

681  1894-0  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Proof¬ 
like.  Scattered  handling  marks.

Sharp  and  lustrous. 

683  1895-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike.  Fully  struck.  Any  mint  state,  mint- 
marked  Barber  Half  in  the  1890’s  is  a  desirable  com¬ 
modity.  (see  color  photo) 

684  1896  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55  +  ) 
Practically  mint  state. 

685  1 898  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
An  affordable  and  attractive  type  coin. 

686  1898  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  Lovely  cameo  effect. 
Trivial  hairlines  prevent  placement  in  the  gem  category, 
(see  color  photo) 

687  1900  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Lustrous;  well  struck. 

688  1900-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  )

690  1903-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  At¬ 
tractive  golden  toning.  Rare  in  mint  state,  (see  color 
photo) 

691  1904  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Vir¬ 
tually  superb,  with  sparkling  prooflike  fields  that  are 
free  of  the  hairlines  and  tiny  injuries  that  most  often  ac¬ 
company  such  fragile  surfaces.  The  strike,  simply  put, 
could  not  be  better,  nor  could  any  more  luster  be  pre¬ 
sent.  In  many  instances,  the  characteristic  of  being 
prooflike  does  not  necessarily  add  to  a  type  coin’s 
desirability.  However,  such  is  not  the  case  with  this  glit¬ 
tering  example,  (see  color  photo) 

692  1906  EXTREMELY  FINE  (45)  Lustrous. 

693  1906  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Golden  toning,  (see  color

Superb!  Looks  remarkably  like,  and  may  be,  the 
Bauman  specimen  sold  by  Stack’s  several  years  ago. 
One  of  the  nicest,  warmest,  most  pleasing  Barber  Halves 
we’ve  seen.  Fully  struck,  Quite  rare.  The  new  owner  will 
surely  consider  himself  fortunate  to  have  won  this  prize, 
(see  color  photo) 

704  1914  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Sharp 
and  lustrous.  The  lowest  mintage  of  the  entire  series. 
Seldom  offered  in  mint  state,  (see  color  photo)

injury,  (see  color  photo)

CIRCULATED  (45  + )  Very  sharp,  with  virtually  full

most  Bust  Dollars  of  higher  grades,  (see  color  photo)

Morgan  Dollars  (cont'd) 


741  1878  8  Tail  Feathers  PROOF  (60)  Pleasing  in  color  and 
overall  appearance,  despite  light  hairlines  throughout 
the  fields,  and  some  small  pin  scratches  above  the  motto 
“In  God  We  Trust”  on  the  reverse,  (see  color  photo) 

742  1878  7  Tail  Feathers  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65)  Exceptionally  frosty.  A  light  scrape  or  two 
below  the  superb  level. 

743  1878  7  Tail  Feathers  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65)  Attractive  aqua,  russet  and  gold  toning  on 
the  obverse. 

744  1878  7  Tail  Feathers  Round  Breast  GEM  BRILLIANT 
UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

745  1878  7  Tail  Feathers  Round  Breast  GEM  BRILLIANT 
UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Lovely  sea  green  and  golden 
toning  adorns  the  obverse.  A  widely  collected,  major 
variety. 

746  1878  7/8  Tail  Feathers  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65)  Prooflike  obverse;  frosty  reverse.  Four  tips 
showing. 

747  1 878  7/8  Tail  Feathers  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCU¬ 
LATED  (65)  VAM  41.  Seven  tips  showing.  According 
to  Van  Allen  and  Mallis,  “one  of  the  best  examples  of 
the  7/8  TF,  with  the  ends  extending  halfway  between 
the  7TF  ends  and  the  top  of  the  bows.”  An  excellent 
strike,  with  semi-prooflike  surfaces. 

748  1878-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

749  1878-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

750  1878-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike.  Nice  mirror  fields  and  creamy  white 
devices.  A  few  light,  scattered  bagmarks. 

751  1878-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  +  )  Superb!  Prooflike.  Reddish-gold  toning  on 
mirror  surfaces.  Raised,  broad  rims.  A  distinctive 
Morgan  Dollar. 


752 

1879  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Prooflike.  Deep,  reflective  surfaces. 

(65) 

753 

1879  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Prooflike.  Mirror  surfaces.  The  reverse  is  superb! 
obverse  shows  faint  hairlines  in  the  left  field. 

(65) 

The 

754 

1879-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Full  strike. 

(65) 

755 

1879-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Semi-prooflike.  Fully  struck. 

(65) 

756 

1879-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Virtually  free  of  bagmarks,  although  there  is 
a  V-shaped,  shallow  scrape  between  “E”  and 
“PLURIBUS”  on  the  obverse. 

757 

1879-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Essentially  superb.  Fully  struck. 

(65) 

758 

1879-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
Spectacular  obverse  rainbow  toning. 

(65) 

759 

1879-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(65) 

Gorgeous  lavender  toning.  A  solitary  mark  beneath 
Liberty’s  eye  is  all  that  keeps  this  beautiful  piece  out  of 
the  elite  “superb”  classification. 


760  1879-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike.  Violet  and  golden  tones  blend  together 
to  make  this  coin  excellent  in  overall  appearance. 

761  1879-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  In¬ 
credibly  deep,  mirror  surfaces.  Lovely,  natural  violet 
toning.  Although  regarded  as  a  common  date  in  proof¬ 
like,  1879-S  is  quite  scarce  with  full  mirrors  as  this  coin 
obviously  possesses.  In  fact,  the  surfaces  on  this  coin  are 
as  deeply  reflective  as  we’ve  ever  seen  for  the  date. 

762  1879-CC  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Sharply  struck  from  perfect  dies. 

763  1879-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Well  struck.  Non-capped  mintmark.  Some  light,  golden 
toning.  A  nice  addition  to  any  gem  set.  (see  color  photo) 

764  1880  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Golden  reverse  toning. 

765  1880  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike.  Nice  mirrors  with  considerable  cameo  effect. 
Very  scarce  and  underrated  in  this  condition.  A  couple 
of  unobtrusive  rim  flaws  do  not  appreciably  detract. 

766  1880-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  fully  struck,  cameo  prooflike,  and  thus  one 
of  the  finest  known.  The  all-important  cheek  of  Liberty 
is  virtually  mark-free,  although  there  are  a  few  light 
abrasions  in  the  left  obverse  field.  These  are  visible  only 
because  the  mirror  surfaces  are  so  fragile,  and  certainly 
do  not  remove  the  coin  from  the  superb  designation. 
The  reverse  is  quite  close  to  perfection.  Steve  Ivy 
Numismatic  Auctions  is  delighted  to  present  the  first  of 
eight  coins  that  were  used  by  numismatist  Wayne  Miller 
as  plate  coins  in  his  masterful  work  An  Analysis  Of 
Morgan  And  Peace  Dollars.  This  particular  piece  is 
same  as  the  one  shown  of  Page  77  of  Miller’s  book.  A 
signed  notarized  statement  attesting  to  this  fact  accom¬ 
panies  the  coin. 

767  1880-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  shockingly  beautiful,  cameo  prooflike 
obverse  combined  with  a  nearly  flawless,  semi-prooflike 
reverse. 

768  1880-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike. 

769  1880-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Temptingly  close  to  MS70.  Exquisite  toning. 
The  fact  that  it  has  semi-prooflike  surfaces  is  secondary 
to  its  overwhelming  beauty.  A  common  date,  to  be  sure, 
but  any  Morgan  Dollar  that  exists  this  near  to  perfection 
is  a  rarity. 

770  1880-CC  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  VAM  4,  (80  over  79),  R-4.  Reverse  of  ’78. 

771  1880-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
VAM  4,  80/79,  R-4.  Reverse  of  ’78.  Formerly  Lot  950 
of  our  Stanford  Sale,  July,  1977.  Worth  more  today 
than  the  $100.00  it  realized  then. 

772  1880-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike  VAM  5,  (8/7  High),  R-4. 

773  1880-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
VAM  6,  (8/7  Low),  R-4.  Semi-prooflike  with  light 
golden  toning.  Quite  attractive. 

774  1880-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  + )  Superb!  Lovely,  satiny  surfaces,  (see  color  photo) 

775  1881  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike  obverse;  frosty  reverse.  Fully  struck.

Morgan  Dollars  (cont'd) 

776  1881  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike.  Fully  struck.  A  very  nice  example. 

Ill  1881-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

778  1881-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Scarce. 

779  1881-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Deep,  luscious  toning  of  numerous  shades, 
predominantly  aqua  and  green.  The  obverse  and  the 
reverse  are  unusually  well  matched.  Absolutely  natural 
and  instantly  eyecatching. 

780  1881-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  virtual  70.  Lovely  light  golden  toning  upon 
glittering  prooflike  surfaces.  A  one-in-a-million 
Morgan! 

781  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
A  pleasant  specimen. 

782  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Nearly  superb,  with  attractive  obverse  toning. 

783  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike,  with  considerable  cameo  qualities. 

784  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Slightly  softly  struck. 

785  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  As  deeply  reflective  as  any  seen  of  this  date. 
Dazzling! 

786  1881-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  +  )  Superb!  Prooflike. 

787  1 882  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Prooflike.  Light  scratch  across  Liberty’s  temple. 

788  1882  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Sharp. 

789  1882  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Even,  golden  toning  atop  shimmering,  proof¬ 
like  surfaces.  Although  the  quality  of  this  outstanding 
coin  is  not  technically  as  nice  as  the  superb  1882  in  our 
Roger  M.  Turner  Sale,  (November,  1978),  its  prooflike 
surfaces  may  enable  it  to  surpass  the  $420.00  realized  by 
the  Turner  specimen.  This  is  the  nicest  prooflike  exam¬ 
ple  of  this  date  we’ve  seen.  Quality  such  as  this  coin 
possesses  is  becoming  increasingly  difficult  to  find  on 
today’s  market,  (see  color  photo) 

790  1882-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Light,  scattered  abrasions  on  the  mirror  sur¬ 
faces. 

791  1882-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
nuance  of  toning  and  relatively  mark-free  surfaces  make 
this  semi-prooflike  example  particularly  attractive. 

792  1882-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Not  only  is  this  coin  a  remarkably  injury-free 
example  of  this  usually  heavily  abraded  issue,  but  it  is 
also  an  incredible  strike.  Even  the  tiniest  hair  curls  are 
visible  above  Liberty’s  ear,  and  each  of  the  eagle’s 
breast  feathers  exhibits  a  sharp  tip.  Deserving  of  a 
record  price  on  its  own  merit.  This  is  the  second  Wayne 
Miller  plate  coin  available  in  the  auction.  As  with  the 
others,  a  signed  notarized  statement  accompanies  the 
coin. 


793  1882-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Wondrous  toning  on  both  obverse  and  reverse. 
Very  few  marks,  none  of  them  serious. 

794  1882-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike. 

795  1882-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
An  attractively  toned,  nearly  superb  example. 

796  1882-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  +  )  Superb!  Cameo  prooflike.  Especially  pleasing 
due  to  its  almost  total  lack  of  bagmarks  in  the  obverse 
fields,  an  area  in  which  prooflike  coins  are  often  in¬ 
jured.  Worth  well  over  a  hundred  dollars. 

797  1883  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike,  and  quite  scarce  as  such.  Fully  struck. 

798  1883  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Vir¬ 
tually  superb.  Attractive  obverse  toning. 

799  1883  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike.  Satiny  devices  and  deep  gray  reflec¬ 
tive  fields.  Practically  void  of  noticeable  marks.  A 
superior  specimen  worthy  of  a  generous  bid. 

800  1883-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Sharp  and  lustrous. 

801  1883-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Mirror  surfaces. 

802  1883-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  An  arc  of  rainbow  toning  covers  the  right 
quarter  of  the  obverse. 

803  1883-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike. 

804  1883-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Deep  mirror  Fields.  The  reverse  exhibits  a 
myriad  of  fine  die  scratches  that  confusingly  resemble 
hairlines,  but  they  are  not.  Interesting. 

805  1884  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Ex¬ 
tremely  sharp.  Semi-prooflike  surfaces. 

806  1884  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Iridescent,  multicolored  toning  covers  the  obverse;  light 
golden  toning  enhances  the  reverse. 

807  1884-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike.  The  contrast  between  fields  and 
devices  is  quite  pronounced  for  this  issue.  Attractive. 

808  1884-S  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Full 
breast  and  hair  detail.  Lustrous,  with  light  golden 
toning.  An  attractive,  yet  affordable,  example. 

809  1884-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Entirely  lustrous  and  frosty.  The  obverse  is  fully 
gem,  with  excellent  surfaces  and  full  hair  detail.  If  the 
eagle  had  full  breast  feathers,  this  piece  would  become  a 
major  Morgan  rarity  with  a  near  $10,000  price  tag.  As 
is,  it  is  a  totally  acceptable  borderline  gem  example  that 
should  sell  for  several  thousand  dollars.  This  coin  would 
look  well  in  any  gem  collection,  (see  color  photo) 

810  1884-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Breathtaking  obverse  toning  of  green,  red  and  gold 
hues. 

811  1884-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  A  few  light  scrapes  on  Liberty’s  cheek. 

812  1884-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike.  The  mirror  fields  are  particularly 
deep  in  their  reflectivity.

Deep  prooflike  surfaces. 

814  1885  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Toned  obverse. 

815  1885  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Prooflike.  Superb! 

Note:  Once  again,  Steve  Ivy  Numismatics  Auctions  is  proud  to 
offer  an  outstanding  group  of  Morgan  Dollars  for  your 
consideration.  Our  reputation  for  high  quality  Dollars 
seems  to  be  spreading,  for  each  sale  seems  to  outdo  the 
previous  one!  If  there  is  an  unfortunate  aspect  to  our 
success,  it  is  that  we  must  necessarily  decline  to  place 
“ordinary”  Dollars  into  individual  lots,  or  to  allow  an 
excess  number  of  any  single  date  to  be  offered  (Thus 
you  will  find  many  superb  Dollars  offered  in  the  latter 
part  of  the  catalogue  as  part  of  the  “Large  Lots”).  In 
some  cases  we  must  politely  refuse  a  consignment 
because  the  quality  of  the  coins  does  not  meet  our  ac¬ 
customed  standards.  The  net  result  has  been  some  seem¬ 
ingly  high  prices  realized  for  “common”  Silver  Dollars. 
But  those  who  have  examined  our  “common”  Dollars 
know  that  their  condition  has  been  decidedly  uncom¬ 
mon.  Many  collectors  and  investors  now  realize  that  in 
no  other  series  of  U.S.  coins  is  the  ratio  of  surviving  tru¬ 
ly  superb  coins  to  the  total  mint  state  population  so 
small.  The  following  lot  is  a  good  example.  We  are  con¬ 
fident  that  less  than  one-tenth  of  one  percent  of  all  the 
surviving  mint  state  1885  Morgan  Dollars  are  as  nice! 

816  1885  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike.  Pleasantly  mark-free  on  Liberty’s 
cheek  (and  throughout  the  rest  of  the  coin  as  well!).  The 
winning  bid  on  this  outstanding  specimen  will  surely  ex¬ 
emplify  the  value  of  superior  quality  on  today’s  market. 

817  1885  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Frosty,  with  alluring,  light  golden  toning.  No 
serious  marks;  the  obverse  fields  are  particularly  free  of 
injury.  A  splendid  Morgan,  (see  color  photo) 

818  1885-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Concentric  circles  of  gold,  russet  and  aqua  surround  the 
frosty  centers. 

819  1885-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Fully  struck,  with  razor  sharp  breast  feathers. 

820  1885-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike  obverse.  Fully  struck  and  relatively  mark-free. 
Worth  two  hundred  dollars  or  so. 

821  1885-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Another  specimen  with  a  prooflike  obverse  and  frosty 
reverse.  The  obverse  displays  some  cameo  effect.  Fully 
struck. 

822  1885-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Semi-prooflike.  Fully  struck  and  quite  mark 
free.  Although  not  quite  the  equal  of  our  Fabulous 
Turner  specimen  ($925),  this  coin  is  nonetheless  excep¬ 
tional  and  should  bring  a  bid  several  hundred  dollars 
over  current  “bid”  levels,  (see  color  photo) 

823  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

824  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Frosty.  Nearly  superb. 

825  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Appealing  —  very,  very  close  to  superb  quality.

826  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

827  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike. 

828  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Toned  cameo  prooflike.  Spectacular  white  devices  con¬ 
trasted  against  lavender  fields,  (see  color  photo) 

829  1885-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(65  +  )  Superb!  Splendid,  multi-hued  obverse  toning, 
(see  color  photo) 

830  1886  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Indescribably  delicious  obverse  toning.  Shim¬ 
mering,  prooflike  surfaces  that  are  free  of  the  usual 
nicks  and  abrasion.  Fully  struck.  So  beautiful  that  it  is 
hard  to  quit  looking  at  it! 

831  1886  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Immaculate!  Surely  this  coin  was  never  allowed 
to  come  into  contact  with  other  Dollars -it  is  void  of 
bagmarks!  In  fact,  the  reverse  appears  to  be  MS70. 
Previously  in  our  R.A.  Donovan  Sale  (Part  I),  Lot  956, 
where  it  realized  $195.00.  A  higher  bid  may  be  necessary 
today. 

832  1886-0  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Above 
average  strike. 

833  1886-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Full  strike.  The  interesting  variety  with  the  full 
“E”  of  “LIBERTY”  clashed  onto  the  reverse  below  the 
tailfeathers. 

834  1886-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Frosty  and  well  struck,  with  a  full  breast.  The 
usual  light  abrasions  for  a  coin  of  this  grade. 

835  1886-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Essentially  fully  struck.  Sparse,  scattered  bagmarks,  not 
great  enough  in  number  or  severity  to  remove  this  exam¬ 
ple  from  the  gem  category. 

836  1886-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike,  and  as  such,  one  of  the  rarities  of  the  Morgan 
series.  Nearly  a  Full  strike.  The  shimmering  surfaces  are 
among  the  nicest  ever  seen  for  this  challenging  date. 
Sure  to  elicit  much  attention  from  serious  specialists, 
(see  color  photo) 

837  1 886-S  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55  + ) 

838  1 886-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Nice  mirror  surfaces.  No  die  polishing 
marks.  This  is  no  doubt  one  of  the  more  underrated 
S-mints  in  fully  prooflike,  MS65  condition. 

839  1887  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Cameo  prooflike.  Exceptionally  deep  mirrors  for  this 
date,  which  usually  is  only  semi-prooflike  at  best. 

840  1887  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike.  Splendiferous  obverse  and  reverse 
toning.  Well  rounded,  virtually  mark-free  cheek.  A 
dazzler! 

841  1887/6  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike,  VAM  2,  (7/6),  R-5. 

842  1887-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Prooflike  and  always  in  demand. 

843  1887-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Rainbow  toning  covers  over  half  of  the  reverse  and 
about  twenty  percent  of  the  obverse.  Fully  struck.

Morgan  Dollars  (cont'd) 

844  1887-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Near  superb,  with  considerable  cameo  effect. 
We  have  been  fortunate  to  have  offered  several 
1887-O’s  of  similar  quality  (MS65,  Prooflike)  in  our 
past  sales.  It  is  interesting  to  see  how  the  prices  realized 
reflect  the  rising  market:  C.W.  Henderson  (Jan.,  ’78), 
Lot  707  at  $155.00;  R.A.  Donovan  (April,  ’78),  Lot  971 
at  $200.00;  Roger  M.  Turner  (Nov.,  ’78),  Lots  718  and 
719  at  $240.00  and  $300.00. 

845  1887-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  This  date  is  often  encountered  as  a  one-sided 
prooflike,  but  this  specimen  exhibits  nice  mirrors  on 
obverse  and  reverse.  Needle-sharp  strike. 

846  1887-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Far  fewer  than  the  usual  number  of  bagmarks 
for  this  issue.  Fully  struck. 

847  1887-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Lovely  gold  and  russet  toning  on  blazing,  semi¬ 
prooflike  surfaces,  (see  color  photo) 

848  1888  PROOF  (60)  Thoroughly  hairlined. 

849  1888-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Fully  struck,  with  a  partial  cameo.  The 
reverse  is  superb. 

850  1888-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  + ) 
Prooflike.  The  deep  mirror  surfaces  are  a  bit  clouded  on 
the  reverse.  Still  a  superior  example  of  this  popular  date. 

851  1888-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Bold  luster  and  an  incredible  strike.  The 
obverse  must  be  considered  only  semi-prooflike,  while 
the  reverse  qualifies  as  full  prooflike.  One  of  the  most 
attractive  of  this  date  ever  seen  by  this  cataloguer,  (see 
color  photo) 

852  1888-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  ) 

853  1888-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Frosty  and  well  struck. 

854  1888-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Brilliant  prooflike  obverse;  frosty  reverse.  Fully  struck. 
Another  of  numismatist  Wayne  Miller’s  plate  coins 
from  An  Analysis  of  Morgan  and  Peace  Dollars  as 
shown  on  page  108.  Like  the  other  plate  coins  in  this 
sale,  a  certified  statement  accompanies  the  coin. 

855  1 889  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 
Mottled  toning. 

856  1 889  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Gray 
brilliant  prooflike  obverse;  frosty  reverse. 

857  1889  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  The  deep  mirror  fields  accentuate  the  scat¬ 
tered  abrasions.  Quite  scarce. 

858  1889  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  + )  A  lovely  cameo  coin  that 
is  a  few  faint  hairlines  away  from  a  gem  grade,  (see 
color  photo) 

859  1889-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Semi-prooflike.  Fully  struck. 

860  1889-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Well  struck,  with  somewhat  semi-prooflike  surface. 

861  1889-S  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55  + ) 


862  1889-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Semi-prooflike.  The  obverse  is  peppered  with 
tiny  bagmarks. 

863  1889-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Splendid  obverse  toning  which  was  probably 
caused  by  the  folds  of  a  paper  wrapper,  the  outlines  of 
which  can  be  discerned  on  the  coin’s  surface.  The  hues 
are  various  shades  of  russet,  yellow  and  green. 

864  1889-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Luscious  gold  and  russet  toning.  The  reverse  is 
particularly  attractive.  An  excellent  opportunity  for  the 
connoisseur  of  fine  Morgans,  (see  color  photo) 

865  1889-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  fantastic  third  example!  From  a  technical 
standpoint,  the  finest  of  the  three.  Subdued,  natural 
toning  that  is  well  matched  on  the  obverse  and  reverse. 
The  total  number  of  bagmarks  on  the  superb  1889-S’s 
offered  in  this  sale  does  not  nearly  equal  the  number 
usually  found  on  one  piece!  (see  color  photo) 

866  1890  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Magnificent  obverse  toning.  No  longer  considered  a 
common  date  in  gem  condition. 

867  1890  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  The  mirror  surfaces  are  a  bit  cloudy.  Very 
scarce. 

868  1890-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Semi-prooflike. 

869  1890-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)

872  1890-CC  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED

873  1890-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Nice  strike. 

874  1890-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Milling  mark  on  Liberty’s  cheek. 

875  1890-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  The  surfaces  are  virtually  100%  reflective. 

876  1890-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
VAM  4,  Tail  Bar,  R-5.  One  of  the  most  popular  of  all 
Morgan  Dollar  varieties,  and  very  difficult  to  locate  in 
mint  state.  This  attractive,  semi-prooflike  specimen  is 
the  best  seen  to  date  —  it  nearly  qualifies  as  superb.  Cer¬ 
tain  to  gain  widespread  attention,  (see  color  photo) 

877  1891  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
pleasant,  well  struck,  frosty  example. 

878  1891  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Impeccable  satin  surfaces  adorned  with  even, 
light  violet  toning.  Fully  struck.  More  bagmark  free 
than  any  other  specimen  seen.  Worthy  of  a  generous 
bid.  (see  color  photo) 

879  1891  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Exuberant  mint  frost.  Radiant,  semi-prooflike 
surfaces.  Well  struck.  Excruciatingly  tough  to  locate  in 
this  condition.  This  is  the  coin  show  on  page  117  of 
Wayne  Miller’s  An  Analysis  of  Morgan  and  Peace 
Dollars.  Like  the  other  plate  coins  in  this  auction,  a 
notarized  statement  from  Lewis  and  Clark  County, 
Montana  is  included  with  the  coin,  (see  color  photo)

880  1891-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  + )  Above  average  strike. 

881  1891-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Typical  strike. 

882  1891-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-proofike.  Almost  fully  struck. 

883  1891-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Tendency  toward  semi-prooflike  surfaces.  Above 
average,  but  not  full,  strike. 

884  1891-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Dazzling,  vibrant  mirror  surfaces!  Virtually 
fully  struck.  There  is  definitely  some  contrast  between 
devices  and  fields,  though  not  quite  enough  to  qualify  as 
a  full  cameo.  Easily  a  rarity-9  item.  The  only  other  gem 
prooflike  offered  recently  was  Lot  831  of  our  R.A. 
Donovan  (Part  II)  Sale  (July,  ’78)  at  $950.00.  A  Choice 
BU  with  mirror  fields  realized  $780.00  in  Part  I  of 
Donovan  in  April.  This  outstanding  specimen  should 
eclipse  the  four  figure  mark,  (see  color  photo) 

885  1 891  -S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

886  1891-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

887  1891-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Gorgeous  peripheral  toning  surrounds  golden 
centers. 

888  1891-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  pristine  jewel,  (see  color  photo) 

889  1891-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike.  Attractive  peripheral  toning  on  the  left 
side  of  the  reverse. 

890  1891-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

891  1891-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Unusual  obverse  toning  that  contrasts  a  turquoise 
periphery  with  a  greenish-gold  center. 

892  1892  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  + ) 

893  1892  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Above  average  strike. 

894  1892  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  The  mirror  surfaces  are  covered  with  aqua 
and  golden  toning  of  medium  density.  Fully  struck,  with 
sharp,  separated  breast  feathers.  Extremely  scarce  in 
this  condition.  The  consignor  interestingly  acquired  this 
coin  through  a  Campbell  Soup  promotional  offering  in 
the  late  1 950’s.  The  original  cardboard  holder  accom¬ 
panies  the  coin,  (see  color  photo) 

895  1892  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Fantastic  mint  frost.  The  most  brilliant  and 
lustrous  example  of  this  date  seen  to  date.  Similar  in 
many  respects  to  the  superb  specimen  that  realized 
$650.00  over  a  year  ago  in  our  Henderson  Sale.  This  is 
actually  one  of  the  toughest  Philly  mint  Morgans  to  find 
in  superb  condition  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  rarer  than 
the  1893  in  true  gem  condition.  The  serious  collector 
should  allow  his  bid  to  approach  the  four  figure  level  if 
he  hopes  to  secure  this  numismatic  prize,  (see  color 
photo)

1892-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Gray  brilliant  prooflike.  Mirror  fields.  Above 
average  strike.  Of  immense  importance  to  prooflike 
Morgan  Dollar  collectors.  This  is  by  far  the  most  reflec¬ 
tive  example  of  this  rarity-10  item  we  have  offered.  The 
only  specimen  superior  to  it  that  we  have  seen  in  recent 
years  belongs  to  a  prominent  Midwestern  collector.  This 
piece  is  better  than  the  BU  (60)  prooflike  that  brought 
$575.00  in  our  Donovan  Sale  (Part  I)  in  April, ’78.  For¬ 
tunately,  there  are  no  serious  bagmarks.  Would  fit  nice¬ 
ly  into  any  gem  prooflike  set. 


1892-0  GEM  BRILLIANT 
Almost  fully  struck. 


UNCIRCULATED  (65) 


1892-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Fully  struck,  with  sharp  breast  feathers.  A  premium 
quality  coin. 

1892-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  A  virtual  gem  with  glittering,  prooflike  surfaces. 
Fully  struck,  with  sharp,  pointed  breast  feathers  and 
practically  complete  hair  detail  above  Liberty’s  ear.  The 
reverse  is  nearly  superb  —  no  mentionable  detractions 
at  all.  On  the  obverse,  a  small  cluster  of  very  shallow 
marks  on  the  lower  portion  of  Liberty’s  neck  and  a 
solitary,  overlookable  milling  mark  on  her  cheek  are  the 
only  imperfections.  Quite  a  pleasing  piece  overall,  and 
one  that  is  certain  to  attract  much  attention  from  serious 
Morgan  Dollar  enthusiasts.  ANACS  #E-2259-A.  (see 
color  photo) 

1892-CC  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60) 
Somewhat  lackluster. 

1892-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike.  Attractive  pastel  toning  on  the  reverse. 
Fully  struck. 

1892-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Sharp.  No  major  marks. 

1892-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Semi-prooflike.  A  glittering  piece  which  nearly  reaches 
the  superb  level,  (see  color  photo) 

1892- CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Sharp  strike.  Formerly  Lot  1027  of  our  R.A. 
Donovan  Sale  (Part  I),  April,  1978.  (see  color  photo) 

1893  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Frosty. 

1893  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
very  sharp  and  brilliant  example  of  this  popular  date. 

1893  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Abundant  luster,  (see  color  photo) 

1893- 0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Well  struck;  nice  luster  and  color.  An  honest, 
natural  choice  example  of  a  very  challenging  issue. 
Although  not  a  gem,  this  coin  needs  no  apologies  for  its 
quality. 

1893-S  VERY  FINE  (25) 

1893-CC  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Semi-prooflike.  Softly  struck  above  Liberty’s 
ear.  (see  color  photo) 

1893-CC  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Fully  struck,  an  unusual  quality  for  this  farewell  issue  of 
the  Carson  City  Mint. 

1894  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55)  No 
problems.  Scarce  grade.

Morgan  Dollars  (cont'd) 

914  1894-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  strike!  Small  cut  on  the  eagle’s  breast.  Worth  a 
premium  due  to  its  uncharacteristic  sharpness,  (see  color 
photo) 

915  1894-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Essentially  fully  struck.  Doubly  desirable  for  its  abun¬ 
dant  luster  and  lack  of  significant  marks.  As  collectors 
and  investors  have  realized  the  degree  of  rarity  of  this 
date  in  gem  condition,  it  has  risen  dramatically  in  price. 
However,  the  increased  value  did  not  instigate  the  ap¬ 
pearance  of  an  appreciable  number  of  coins  on  the 
market,  (see  color  photo) 

916  1 894- S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Ex¬ 
cellent  strike  and  luster.  Semi-prooflike  reverse. 

917  1894-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
frosty,  fully  struck,  nearly  superb  specimen.  Eminently 
collectible. 

918  1895-0  EXTREMELY  FINE  (45)  Some  luster.  Small 
cut  on  Liberty’s  chin. 

919  1895-S  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50)  Surfaces  that 
remain  remarkably  lustrous  and  prooflike  for  a  coin  of 
this  grade.  An  excellent,  problem  free  example. 

920  1895-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Full  mint  frost.  A  pristine,  well  struck  example  of  this 
date.  Becoming  increasingly  difficult  to  locate,  (see 
color  photo) 

921  1895-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Gleaming  prooflike  surfaces  with  some  cameo 
contrast.  Fully  struck,  (see  color  photo) 

922  1896  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Vir¬ 
tually  superb;  semi-prooflike. 

923  1896  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  En¬ 
chanting  toning. 

924  1896  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Love¬ 
ly  prooflike  surfaces.  Straddles  the  dividing  line  between 
gem  and  superb. 

925  1896-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  + )  Well  struck. 

926  1896-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Fully  struck  and  lustrous.  A  presentable 
specimen  of  this  difficult  issue. 

927  1896-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  + )  Temptingly  close  to  gem  because  of  its  attractive 
color.  Light  toning  covers  the  mark-free  surfaces,  with 
some  splashes  of  more  intense  color  about  the 
peripheries.  Not  fully  struck,  but  definitely  above 
average.  Worth  near  a  gem’s  price. 

928  1896-S  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (50) 

929  1896-S  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55) 

The  reverse  is  mint  state;  the  obverse  has  been  cleaned. 

930  1896-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Sharp,  and  close  to  gem  quality. 

931  1897  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Superb  were  it  not  for  some  tiny  black  spots  on  the 
obverse. 

932  1897  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike. 


933  1897  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Brilliant  prooflike.  Marvelous,  reflective  sur¬ 
faces. 

934  1897  CHOICE  PROOF  (60  +  )  Light  cleaning  is 
evidenced  by  faint  hairlines,  (see  color  photo) 

935  1897-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Fully  struck  and  wholly  lustrous. 

936  1897-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Sharp. 

937  1897-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Another  sharply  struck  example. 

938  1897-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 

(60  +  )  Very  close  to  gem,  with  shimmering,  semi- 

prooflike  surfaces.  Full  breast  feathers  and  nearly  full 
hair  detail  above  Liberty’s  ear.  A  hint  of  peripheral  ton¬ 
ing  enhances  the  overall  appearance.  Worthy  of  serious 
consideration,  (see  color  photo) 

939  1897-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

940  1897-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

941  1897-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Another  with  deep  mirror  surfaces. 

942  1897-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Impeccable  semi-prooflike  surfaces.  Subtle  ton¬ 
ing  that  transfixes  the  viewer’s  attention.  The  reverse  is 
essentially  MS70.  A  coin  so  beautiful  that  its  date  and 
mintmark  become  incidental  in  estimating  its  value,  (see 
color  photo) 

943  1898  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Mark 
free,  mirror  fields.  Light  scrape  in  Liberty’s  hair  above 
her  forehead. 

944  1898  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 

945  1898  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Exquisite  natural  toning  on  both  obverse  and 
reverse.  Morgans  of  this  quality  have  consistently 
brought  solid  three  figure  bids.  No  bagmarks  are  ap¬ 
parent  on  this  incredible  Dollar!  (see  color  photo) 

946  1898  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  brilliant  prooflike  example  with  as  much 
cameo  effect  as  we’ve  seen  for  this  date.  Mirror  fields 
rippling  with  luster.  No  mentionable  marks  whatsoever. 
This  coin  traces  its  pedigree  to  Wayne  Miller  who  used  it 
to  illustrate  this  particular  date  in  his  classic  work  An 
Analysis  of  Morgan  and  Peace  Dollars.  A  signed 
notarized  statement  accompanies  the  coin  and  attests  to 
this  fact. 

947  1898-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Superb  cameo  reverse. 

948  1898-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Deep  mirrors. 

949  1898-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Kept  away  from  the  gem  grade  by  some  fine 
hairlines  on  Liberty’s  cheek. 

950  1898-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Frosty. 

951  1898-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Sharp.

Morgan  Dollars  (cont'd) 

952  1898-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Considerable  cameo  effect  on  the  obverse. 

953  1898-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  rival  to  the  fabulous  near-70  specimen  that 
brought  $1,000.00  in  our  Roger  M.  Turner  Sale  last 
November.  It  has  no  appreciable  marks  and  is  the  proud 
possessor  of  lovely  toning  of  aqua  and  golden  shades. 
Fully  struck,  though  not  quite  as  sharp  as  the  Turner 
coin.  It  should  nonetheless  do  almost  as  well,  (see  color 
photo) 

954  1899  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
Semi-prooflike. 

955  1899  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike.  Fully  struck,  with  deep  mirror  fields. 

956  1899  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike.  Deep  mirror  surfaces.  So  well  struck  that  a 
partial  wire  rim  is  evident. 

957  1899  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

Prooflike.  Nearly  superb,  (see  color  photo) 

958  1899  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  An  outstanding,  frosty  example. 

959  1899  GEM  PROOF  (65)  Lightly  toned.  Frosted  devices

Prooflike. 

963  1899-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Although  this  issue  is  often  seen  in  gem  condi¬ 
tion  when  found  at  all,  hardly  ever  does  one  find  an  ex¬ 
ample  with  such  a  remarkable  combination  of  qualities 
such  as  this  coin  possesses:  Mirror  surfaces,  a  total  lack 
of  consequential  marks,  exquisite  peripheral  toning  and 
a  razor-sharp  strike.  Sure  to  set  a  record  price,  (see  color 
photo) 

964  1900-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike.  A  myriad  of  die  striations,  as  often 
seen  on  prooflikes  of  this  date. 

965  1900-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike.  Deep  mirrors,  with  not  as  many  of 
the  aforementioned  striations  visible. 

966  1900-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Virtually  superb.  Frosty. 

967  1900-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  A  frosty,  almost  totally  mark-free  example.  For 
the  collector  who  likes  brilliant,  struck,  untoned  Dollars 
with  no  bagmarks.  (see  color  photo) 

968  1901  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60)  Extremely 
well  struck.  Quite  lustrous. 

969  1901  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Vir¬ 
tually  fully  struck  with  blazing  luster.  A  few  tiny 
bagmarks  on  the  cheek  are  all  that  prevent  a  superb 
classification.  A  rare  opportunity,  (see  color  photo) 

970  1901-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike. 


971  1901-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Prooflike. 

972  1 901  -S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED

A  scratch  diagonally  crosses  Liberty’s  cheek. 

973  1 901  -S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Light  roller  marks,  a  common  deficiency  of  this 
issue. 

974  1901-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Fully  struck  and  frosty. 

975  1902  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
Prooflike. 

976  1902  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 

977  1902  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  Vir¬ 
tually  superb. 

978  1902  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Very  similar  in  quality  and  appearance  to  the 
Turner  specimen  at  $400.00.  Spectacular!  (see  color 
photo) 

979  1902-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Technically  superb,  but  needs  a  bit  more 
character.  Worthy  of  a  premium  bid. 

980  1902-0  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A 
brilliant  prooflike  that  exhibits  unusually  deep,  reflec¬ 
tive  fields  for  this  date.  Not  at  all  easy  to  find  in  this 
state. 

981  1902-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Considerable  obverse  bagging,  but  sharpness  and  semi¬ 
prooflike  surfaces  retrieve  it  from  the  choice  level. 

982  1902-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Frosty. 

983  1902-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Light  golden  obverse  toning;  the  reverse  is 
splashed  with  shades  too  numerous  to  list.  Fully  struck. 

984  1902-S  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Shimmering,  semi-prooflike  surfaces  that 
tempt  one  to  consider  this  coin’s  supreme  rarity  with 
mirror  surfaces  and  dub  them  fully  prooflike.  In  any 
case,  a  fully  struck  example  that  would  complement  any 
collection,  be  it  primarily  frosty  or  prooflike.  Still 
another  of  Wayne  Miller’s  plate  coins  from  his  reference 
work  An  Analysis  of  Morgan  and  Peace  Dollars.  A  cer¬ 
tified  statement  signed  by  Miller  is  included  with  this  lot.

brilliant  prooflike. 

986  1903  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65) 
Prooflike.  Nice  mirrors  for  this  date. 

987  1903  GEM  PROOF  (65  +  )  It  is  indeed  a  pleasure  to 
offer  once  again  this  beautiful  specimen  from  our  C.W. 
Henderson  Sale  (January,  1978).  It  was  described 
therein  as:  “Superb!  One  of  the  most  beautifully  toned 
coins  of  any  type  or  denomination  that  we  have  ever 
seen.  There  are  too  many  vivid  shades  to  enumerate. 
The  obverse  and  reverse  are  well  matched.  A  splendid 
coin.”  (see  color  photo)

Half  Eagles  (cont'd) 

1215  1836  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65  +  ) 
Superb!  Unquestionably  one  of  the  finest  known  of  the 
entire  Classic  Head  Half  Eagle  series.  Warm,  natural 

2  )  color.  Satiny,  immaculate  surfaces.  Fully  struck,  with 
each  star,  hair  curl,  shield  line  and  feather  completely 
defined.  The  luster  is  shimmering  and  unbroken. 

Many  gold  type  collectors  have  expanded  their 
horizons  to  include  early  major  types  of  U.S.  gold 
coins.  After  “waltzing”  through  the  basic  twelve  piece 
type  set,  however,  quality  becomes  a  problem.  The 
Liberty  Head,  No  Motto,  coinage  is  challenging,  as  is  all 
of  the  Classic  and  Bust  material  in  mint  state  condition. 
When  a  gem  of  any  of  these  types  of  gold  coins  has 
come  upon  the  market,  a  record  price  is  often  set.  Only 
one  type  set  can  house  this  outstanding  example  we 
offer  here.  Only  one  person  can  revel  in  the  pride  its 
ownership  will  bring.  Who  that  person  is,  and  what 
price  he  has  to  pay,  remains  to  be  seen,  but  we  would 
not  be  surprised  at  all  to  see  the  bidding  around  the  five 
figure  area,  (see  color  photo) 

1216  1857  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (60  +  ) 
Scarce,  both  as  a  date  and  as  a  type,  (see  color  photo) 

1217  1858-C  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED  (55) 
Fully  struck!  Lustrous  and  pleasing,  (see  color  photo) 

1218  1 861  -D  VERY  FINE/EXTREMELY  FINE  (35  +  )  One 
of  the  great  rarities  of  the  Half  Eagle  denomination. 
Light,  even  wear.  Excellent  planchet.  A  thin  scratch 
beneath  the  eagle’s  beak  is  mentionable  only  for  sake  of 
future  pedigree  verification.  Struck  in  the  waning  days 
of  the  historic  Dahlonega  Mint,  the  few  hundred  which 
were  released  were  eagerly  circulated.  An  exciting  op¬ 
portunity.  (see  color  photo) 

1219  1870-CC  VERY  FINE/EXTREMELY  FINE  (35  +  ) 
What  a  privilege  to  offer  the  rarest  Dahlonega  Half 
Eagle,  followed  by  the  rarest  Carson  City  Half  Eagle! 
Although  not  quite  fully  EF,  this  problem  free  specimen 
nonetheless  ranks  high  among  the  condition  census.  All 
early  Carson  City  gold  was  very  heavily  circulat¬ 
ed  —  paper  money  was  scarce  and  earned  little  respect 
in  any  case.  Trade  was  expedited  by  using  privately 
minted  gold  coins;  even  Quarter  Dollar  and  Half  Dollar 
gold  coins  were  used.  But,  when  available,  U.S.  gold 
coins  were  the  best  way  to  have  your  money.  Imagine 
the  hundreds  of  different  pairs  of  eager  hands  that 
handled  this  piece!  The  personification  of  our  history  is 
nowhere  more  evident  than  in  a  coin  such  as  this,  (see

1220  1877-CC  CHOICE  ALMOST  UNCIRCULATED 
(55  + )  Unknown  in  full  mint  state.  This  specimen  is  very

for  a  product  of  this  mint.  Lustrous  and  very  pleasing, 
with  semi-prooflike  surfaces,  (see  color  photo)

we’ve  ever  offered.  Unsurpassable  in  every  respect.

Lustrous  and  pleasing.  Scarce  in  all  grades.  Especially 
desirable  in  this  condition,  since  mint  state  examples, 
when  found,  are  prohibitively  expensive.  Catalogues 
$675.00  in  EF  (40)  and  $2,000.00  in  MS60.  (see  color

A  virtual  gem  example  of  this  slightly  better  date. 

1231  1909-0  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  + )  The  nicest  example  of  this  key  date  that  we  have 
ever  offered.  The  only  superior  specimen  that  we  know 
of  sold  for  $10,000.00  over  a  year  ago.  This  piece  is  ex¬ 
ceptionally  well  struck,  with  a  sharp  mintmark.  Dozens 
of  times  rarer  in  mint  state  than  the  1929.  The  person 
desirous  of  a  complete  set  of  Indian  Half  Eagles  should 
take  advantage  of  this  opportunity.  The  successful  bid 
will  probably  be  in  the  mid  four  figure  range,  (see  color

1232  1910-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Another  scarce  Indian  Half  Eagle  in  a  high

Superb!  One  of  the  finest  we  have  seen  of  ffilsType.  A 
mate  to  the  fabulous  1909  that  brought  $1,250.00  as 
part  of  our  R.A.  Donovan  Sale  (April,  1978).  With  the 
increased  recognition  of  how  rare  a  truly  superb 
member  of  this  series  is,  this  pristine  example  should  do 
even  better.  For  a  premier  type  set.  (see  color  photo) 

1237  1913  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)

1240  1916-S  CHOICE  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED 
(60  +  )  Extremely  sharp.  Full  feathers  on  the  eagle’s  up¬

another  unusual  opportunity  to  acquire  a  key  member 
of  this  popular  series,  (see  color  photo) 


EAGLES 

1241  1795  EXTREMELY  FINE  (40)  Twelve  leaves  below 

eagle.  Remarkably  free  of  problems  —  no  serious  sur¬ 
face  blemishes  and  no  adjustment  marks.  About  half  of 
the  eagle’s  breast  feathers  are  visible  (as  many  as  are 
sometimes  seen  on  near  mint  state  examples).  A  rare 
and  historic  numismatic  showpiece,  (see  color  photo)

Excellent  strike,  color  and  luster.  Extremely  rare  and 
one  of  the  most  underrated  members  of  the  series  in 
mint  state.  Few  as  nice  as  this  pristine  specimen  survive 
from  the  scant  mintage  of  17,500.  We  note  one  retail 
advertisement  at  $850.00,  a  very  fair  price,  when  one 
consider’s  this  coin’s  true  rarity.  Probably  twenty-five 
times  rarer  or  more  so  than  the  1891-CC.  Excellent  for

specimen  also  boasts  a  full  strike  and  excellent  surfaces. 
For  all  intents  and  purposes,  a  superb  coin  that  is  wor¬

1313  1907  High  Relief  Wire  Rim  GEM  BRILLIANT  UN¬ 
CIRCULATED  (65  +  )  Superb!  A  premier  example  of 
our  nation’s  loveliest  coin.  As  near  to  MS70  as  any 
other  we’ve  ever  seen!  Not  one  significant  mark  can  be 
found  on  the  satiny  surfaces.  Even  the  high  wire  rim  is 
unharmed.  Outrageously  beautiful  color  and  luster. 
Consigned  simultaneously  with  the  preceding  lot;  the 
pair  has  undoubtedly  been  together  since  soon  after 
their  minting.  What  could  be  a  better  investment  than 
the  highest  quality  example  available  of  numismatics’ 
most-in-demand  coin?  Worthy  of  a  five  figure  bid.  (see

1314  1909  GEM  BRILLIANT  UNCIRCULATED  (65)  A

\YV  Guide  Book  listing  is  ludicrous  and,  in  any  case,  is  only 
for  an  MS60.  Wholesale  records  of  at  least  $1,500.00 
more  accurately  indicate  market  value.  Often  a  weakly

Steve  Ivy  Numismatic  Auctions,  Inc. 

We  get  you  the  highest 
price  for  your  money. 


When  you  sell  a  com,  there’s  fust 
one  thing  you  want’  the  highest 
price  possible. 

To  get  the  highest  price  possible, 
there’s  just  one  consistently 
reliable  source  to  turn  to:  Steve  Ivy 
Numismatic  Auctions,  Inc. 

Our  goal  is  to  produce,  time  after 
time,  the  one  thing  you’re 
interested  in  the  highest  possible 
prices  for  your  coins. 

To  do  that,  Steve  Ivy  Numismatic 
Auctions  goes  wherever  the 
money  is. 

Through  the  most  professional  and 
sophisticated  merchandising  and 
advertising  program  in  the 
numismatic  industry. 

With  advertisements  in  Coin  World, 
Barrons,  The  Wall  Street  Journals.  Ads 
that  reach  buyers  everywhere.  Ads  that 
sell  your  coins.  Ads  that  increase  the 
number  of  mail  and  floor  bidders  to  give 
you  the  best  chance  of  realizing  the 
highest  possible  prices. 

With  all-color  auction  catalogs  sent  to 
thousands  of  buyers  across  the  nation.  We 
were  the  first  and  are  still  the  only 
auction  company  to  produce  all-color 
catalogs.  Color  highlights  your  coins, 
attracts  the  eye  of  the  bidder  and  brings 
out  details  that  might  pass  unnoticed  in  a 
black  and  white  catalog.  Color  gives  your 
coins  a  much  better  chance  of  selling  at 
the  highest  possible  prices. 

With  CompuBid™,  a  Steve  Ivy 
Numismatic  Auctions  exclusive. 
CompuBid™  is  a  highly  advanced 
computerized  innovation  that  allows  each 
bidder  to  maximize  his  bidding  dollars. 
Again,  CompuBid™  is  still  another 
Steve  Ivy  Numismatic  Auctions,  Inc. 
feature  that  helps  you  to  realize  the 
highest  possible  prices  for  your  coins. 

With  ads.  With  all-color  catalogs. 
With  new  ideas  like  CompuBid™.  With 
the  most  effective  mailing  list  in  the 
numismatic  marketplace.  Getting  to  the 
most  interested  buyers  in  the  country 
with  your  coins.  Because  that's  where  the 
money  is. . .  for  you  and  us. 


Through  consistent,  highly 
comprehensive,  well  structured, 
unreserved  auctions. 

Many  auction  houses  have  auction  sales 
that  are  glutted  with  multiples  and  are 
assembled  in  an  unorganized  and 
cluttered  manner.  Oftentimes,  your  coins 
are  graded  by  several  different  people, 
thereby  eliminating  the  consistency 
which  is  so  important  to  a  successful  sale. 
These  facts  hurt  your  chances  to  compete 
effectively  for  the  highest  possible  prices. 
But  Steve  Ivy  Numismatic  Auctions  are 
managed  much  better.  They  are 
intentionally  structured,  well  organized 
and  consistently  graded  to  create  the 
optimum  buying  environment  for  your 
coins.  Our  auctions  are  realistically 
competitive,  resulting  in  the  highest 
possible  prices  realized  for  you.  Our 
auctions  are  also  unreserved,  so  more 
bidders  will  participate  to  give  you  a 
better  chance  of  obtaining  the  highest 
prices  possible. 

At  every  Steve  Ivy  Numismatic 
Auction,  we  put  competition  to  work  for 
you  —  not  against  you.  Because  that’s 
where  the  money  is . . .  for  you  and  us. 

Through  major  city  auction  lot 
displays. 

In  addition  to  showing  your  coins  to 
thousands  of  buying  eyes  in  our  ads  and 
all-color  catalogs,  Steve  Ivy  Numismatic 
Auctions  puts  your  coins  on  display  in  at 
least  one  major  coin  show  in  a  major  city 
before  they  go  to  auction.  This  way,  still 
more  people  will  be  able  to  see  your 
coins,  increasing  the  number  of  bids  and 
increasing  your  chances  of  obtaining  the 
highest  prices  possible. 

From  New  York  to  Chicago  to  Dallas 
to  Los  Angeles,  we  show  your  coins  in 
major  cities.  Because  that’s  where  the 
money  is . . .  for  you  and  us. 

Through  short  consignment  cut-off 
dates  and  timely  cash  advances. 

Because  we  manage  our  company 
as  efficiently  as  we  manage  our 
auctions,  and  because  we  send 
all  our  catalogs  by 


first  class  mail,  we  can  offer  you  a 
consignment  cut-off  date  that  is  very 
close  to  the  date  for  the  actual  auction. 
And  if  you  need  money  in  a  hurry,  we’ll 
make  generous  cash  advances  to  you 
before  we  put  your  coins  in  auction.  This 
means  your  coins  will  be  in  our  possession 
for  the  shortest  period  of  time,  and  you’ll 
have  the  money  to  use. 

Short  consignment  cut-off  dates  and 
cash  advances.  Because  that’s  where  the 
fastest  money  is . . .  for  you  and  us. 

If  you  want  the  highest  prices  for 
your  money,  then  you  have  to  go 
where  the  money  is.  And  the  money 
is  with  us.
